Безопасен ли healthgrades.com?

BEWARE!! I called the number for the doctor's office and it turns out it was a number for their service. After being mislead into thinking it was the doctor's office, I gave them my name, date of birth, phone number and address, only for them to tell me they'd transfer me to the doc's office. Now they have my information after never informing me of who I was really calling. The number is listed as the doctor's number! Not the number for their shifty service! I read they sell your information so I'd better watch my email to make sure I don't get spammed. Also, their reviews are often very fake. Completely untrustworthy site!

Marketing site masquerading as a heath care professional matching and news site. Uses hot button issues to pump their advertisers' crap, pushes a sign-up that simply is a way for their clients to spam you constantly. Very biased and content is written specifically to pimp for paid marketing. This is never mentioned, the advice is either banal or wrong and the products being pumped are useless. Anyone reviewed positively on here paid for it and are very unpopuar in real life. That's why they paid these scammers. "10 Signs you are getting Alztheimer's Disease..." I'l tell you #1. You're reading healthgrades.com! Take some widely available data, let people feel like they're rating someone, take money to pimp for some of them on the sly and use the sign-up to spam the marks! What's not to like :-) The spam that gets sent if you sign - up is so bad it actually includes Nigerian Letters. Now, that is only used anymore for the VERY.MOST.STUPID marks. QED: healthgrades.com is counting on you being very ignorant. And either there's a number out there like that, or they plant reviews as well!

The phone numbers given on the site for the doctors go to Healthgrades answering service - she said they are a physician's referral service - AFTER she got all my information - but my doctors' office knew nothing about them. She did transfer me to the dr's office and gave me their direct number. After reading these other review, I'm glad I didn't give my email address.
